I've never been able to figure out how something got created out of nothing. And I've never been able to figure out how "God" began. It is beyond my understanding as we naturally believe in a beginning of everything. So one is left with religion which I find wanting. Too much for my pea brain to assimilate.
I spent a couple years in the South china Sea, and others, circa 1967. I remember laying in the net guards for our DASH deck {DD-877). They extended over the sea. At night, we would lay there and ponder eternity.
We had some fabulous discussions, as we looked at the myriads of stars and celestial wonders. Shooting stars were echoed by the waters.
As the Destroyer slid silently through the water, the roiling caused an effervescent glow alongside our vessel. It was bright enough to illuminate the various snakes and creatures that inhabited the depths.
All in all, we decided it was a little over our heads!
In the end, it is simply faith that will get you through to eternity. Some people think theirs' lays in a grave...
I've never been able to figure out how something got created out of nothing.
How matter is brought into existence through creation is not the same as asking for the origin of God.
You should know that something is eternal. If matter is eternal, it is divine.
